So Blessed We Are Inky Friends

 Hello everyone.  I have a card to share using A Colorful Life Designs Newest Release.  Do you love stencils? They are so much fun to work with and I just love them.  Don't forget to use VonFan10 at checkout.  Master Creator Bundles no code needed as those are already marked down.  Without further ado here is my card.



On my card I used the New Mid Century Banners Stencil 6x6.  I love this design.  This stencil reminds me of trees too and you can use it for Christmas and add ornaments or keep it simple. You can add little messages in the banners.  That is a couple of ideas I'm sure there is a lot more.  I chose to keep my card simple.  I used white cardstock and I ink blended in inks Catherine Pooler SeaFoam, Catherine Pooler Polished, Catherine Pooler Shea Butter, and Catherine Pooler Stone Blue in the Minis.  


I used a stited rectangle die from LDRS and cut my background out.  Since I had leftover stenciled paper I cut a border for the inside of my card.



I stamped my sentiment from Hero Arts Stamped Just For You Stamp with black ink.  I then glued my rectangle to a A2 Card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I added some Silver Metallic Card Bling and that finishes this card.  I had so much fun with this card.  I hope you check out the New Release here.

It's Okay To Take A Break

 Hello I have a card today for the Inspired By...Desktop Challenge IB349.  I love the colors and sketch this week.  I chose to use a stamp and die that's been in my stash for centuries lol.  Well you get it it's been awhile and I needed to finally use this set from Mama Elephant.  Without further ado here is my card.






On my card I used Mama Elephant It's Okay Stamp and Coordinating die set. I stamped all my images on Neenah Solar White 110 pounds with Memento Tuxedo ink.  I then colored everything in with my Copic Markers.  I was going for pastels like the Challenge photo.  I then cut everything out with the coordinating dies.


I cut out a white cardstock panel 4 x 5 1/4 and started designing where I wanted my images. I laid them down a few different times.  I stamped my sentiment from the same stamp and removed my images so they didn't get ink on them.


Next, I glued my images according to the sketch and then glued my card panel to a gray A2 card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I think it came out so cute and I love the white space as that is usually hard for me.  If you know me, I usually grab pattern papers or stencils for my backgrounds.  I hope I inspired you to try this challenge, try something new, or maybe take a break.  It's definitely okay. Hugs. 💗

With Love At Christmastime

 Hello everyone.  I have a card to share using A Colorful Life Designs Newest Release.  Always remember when shopping use my code to save you money VonFan10.  Without further ado here is my card.



This New stencil is called Atomic Strands and I chose to use it as a Christmas Background because that's what it looked great for.  What would you use it for? Another idea that came to mind was Space. Maybe next time. So on white cardstock I ink blended the strands in Concord & 9th Cranberry, Evergreen, and Stardust ink cubes.  I then cut my background to be 4 x 5 1/4.  I glued it to a red A2 card panel 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.


I had these sentiment strips in my stash using Taylored Expressions Simple Strips Stamp Christmas and Simple Strips Die.  I then added some card bling in Metallic Gold. Everything was glued to a white A2 card base.  I love how this Christmas card turned out.  It was be great to batch a bunch for the Holidays.  I hope you grab this stencil.

On my card I used the Fabulous Pumpkin Market Paper Pack 6x6 and Pumpkin Market Ephemera.  I also used a Digital Stamp from the Not 2 Shabby Shop called Digital Spice Everything.  I loved adding lots of Fall goodness to my card.  When I downloaded my digital stamp on Neenah Solar white 110 pounds.  I colored it in with my Copic Markers and I also did a little ink blending with Rusty Hinge distress oxide ink.  I then cut it to a rectangle and matted it to a larger kraft rectangle.  



My pattern paper was cut to A2 size 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  It was hard choosing a paper as all the ones in the pack are so beautiful.  I glued my paper, image, and some ephemera to a A2 card base.  I love the girl ephemera too.  I can't wait until Fall.  I love how this card came out and I hope you give it a try as you can pick any design.  Our mood board does help with colors, patterns, and collections  Visit Not 2 Shabby Shop here I can't wait to see what you make.  Hugs.

Fun Birthday Card Using A Colorful Life Designs

 Hello everyone.  I have a fun Birthday card today using A Colorful Life Designs Newest Release.  Use VonFan10 to save.  Without further ado here is my card.



Isn't this card fun?? I used the New Mid Century Trailing Sectors 6x6 Stencil.  When I first seen this stencil...I was like yup that looks familiar.  It brought back memories of playing video games.  So on white cardstock I ink blended my paper with Blueprint Sketch Distress ink, Uncharted Mariner Distress ink, Hickory Smoke Distress ink, and Villainous Potion Distress ink.  I used Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide ink for the stencil. I added some dots with a black pen.  I then used Gina K Designs for white pigment ink using the Praise Burst Stencil 6x6 and that is another favorite stencil of mine.  I would just tilt my stencil and ink where I wanted.  So fun I love how it came out.


I cut my ink blended cardstock to be 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 A2 size.  I used MFT Stamps Masculine Graphic Stamp for my sentiment that was stamped in black ink.  I then glued my panel to a A2 card base.  That finishes my card I love it.  I hope you check out the New Release.
